Chapter 316: Ambition
The jade plate hangs high in the blue sky, and the dew is heavy and the wind is light and the night is thick.
At this time, because there was no wind in the Huaishui, the entire Huaishui water surface was shrouded in dense fog.
The thousands of ships on the river are like fairy ships floating in a sea of clouds.
It stands to reason that winter is now in the north, and this kind of winter fog is simply not possible in the north.
However, this is the southeast region of the Dayu Dynasty, and although the weather is already very cold at night, it is still much warmer than in the north.
However, the Muhua Li Falcon standing in the bow of the ship still didn't like this kind of weather very much.
Although the people of the steppe tribe do not like winter, because many people die in the winter every year.
But Muhua Li Falcon, who has lived in that bitter cold place since he was a child, still feels that the climate in the south of the Dayu Dynasty is uncomfortable.
He went south all the way and found that the entire southern part of the Dayu Dynasty had beautiful mountains and rivers, and the climate was also warm and humid.
In his opinion, this kind of place is simply a good place for farming and shepherding, and it is worthy of the title of anointing land.
Along the way, he also had a great interest in this southward raid.
At the same time, he also imagined in his heart that if the grassland tribe could enter the Central Plains in the future, he would definitely suggest that the Wolf Court strictly control this place.
As long as the southern region is stable, then the world will inevitably be stable.
He didn't want the grassland tribe to repeat the mistakes of the Dayu Emperor, and he didn't understand why the Dayu Dynasty wanted to divide so many vassal kings and festival envoys in such a treasured land.
Isn't this a clear gift to others of this anointed land that can stabilize the world!
Mu Huali Falcon really couldn't figure it out, so he could only explain it with the words of the authorities.
"Lord Shaman, we will be able to arrive in Sizhou County tomorrow, and we can finally repair it properly."
Young Murong Tongwei looked a little pale under the reflection of the moonlight.
"Yes, it's time to trim and trim it, and the boys are estimated to be stretched to the limit."
Mu Hua Li Falcon said that he also felt a tumult in his stomach, and he finally suppressed the urge to vomit.
"I didn't expect the sons and daughters of my grassland tribe to be tossed half dead by these ships, it seems that we still need to train to ride boats in the future."
Murong Tongwei licked the scab at the corner of his mouth with his tongue and said.
"Looks like you're going to take precautions?"
Mu Hua Li Falcon turned his head and glanced at Murong Tongwei.
"Lord Shaman said with a smile, I just think that now that the Dayu Dynasty has declined to this extent, my grassland tribe will definitely have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains in the future, in this case, we will definitely have the opportunity to attack the south of the Dayu Dynasty in the future, but this southern hills and rivers are full of rivers and cavalry It is difficult to play a role here, so if you want to attack here, you must still use ships."
Although Murong Tongwei's face was full of shyness, the words he said were every word.
"I'll just say I'm not mistaken!"
Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at the young Tugu New King in front of him, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Shaman, for the compliment."
Murong Tongwei immediately bent down and bowed.
"Hey, I think that because of the harsh living environment of my grassland tribe, the sons and daughters of the entire grassland tribe are resolute and brave, but it is precisely because of this that there are few extremely wise people in my grassland tribe!"
Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at the white expanse around him and couldn't help but sigh.
"The shaman laughed, thinking that none of the shamans on the holy mountain of my wolf dwelling are extremely intelligent, and there are many resourceful people in the eight major tribes."
Murong Tong stood behind Mu Hua Li Falcon in a respectful manner.
"All the shamans on the holy mountain are all servants of the wolf king god, it is impossible for them to personally manage the tribes, in the end, the tribes still need you khans and my kings to manage."
Mu Hua Li Falcon still sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat and said.
And Murong Tongwei heard Mu Hua Li Falcon say this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.
Although Muhua Li Falcon didn't say it explicitly, Murong Tongwei also heard that Mu Hua Li Falcon was deliberately mentioning himself.
"As for the resourceful people among the major tribes you mentioned, that's a joke. You go and see how many of the khans or kings of the tribes have brains. ”
"It doesn't matter if the shaman is a khan or a king of each tribe who doesn't have too much wisdom, as long as they have someone under them who can give them advice, after all, talents who are both civil and military are too rare."
Although he said so, in fact, Murong Tongwei himself felt sorry for the khans and kings of the various tribes of the grassland in his heart.
Although these guys have a lot of power, there are few who are truly wise.
Most of them need someone from below to advise them.
However, this is not a good thing in the eyes of Wolf Juting, but it may not be a good thing for him Murong Tongwei.
Because only the stupider these guys are, the more chance they will have to annex their tribe in the future.
"Hmph, if you don't talk about these subordinates, maybe I won't be angry, you go and see what proportion of the Dayu captives have been among those who advise the tribes."
Mu Hua Li Falcon said with an angry face, and his cold voice was three points lower than the temperature around him.
Originally, according to the teachings of the wolf court and the customs of the grassland tribes, they did not divide the tribes by blood.
Due to the special way of survival of the grassland tribes, in fact, the bloodlines of their tribal members are extremely complicated.
If you look closely, none of these tribes is made up entirely of a single nation.
Since they had a tradition of beating grass valleys since ancient times, their tribe would capture many slaves from the Dayu Dynasty and other small surrounding countries every year.
And the young men and women of their own tribe would also choose some of these slaves to be of good shape and appearance to marry and have children.
Although these mixed-race children are discriminated against in the clan, they are still regarded as sons of their own clan.
Just like Yu Zhenlei, although he has been discriminated against since he was a child and is not qualified to join the raiding army, he is still a citizen of the Xianbei clan, and he can still become Haiyin's personal guard.
And as long as Yu Zhenlei marries another Xianbei woman, the child born will not be discriminated against like himself.
Therefore, the degree of integration of people of this different race among the steppe tribes is very high.
Moreover, because the population of the grassland tribe is not large, and many men are killed and injured every year because of the grass valley, there are fewer and fewer people who really have pure grassland blood as time goes by.
If you really calculate carefully, I am afraid that among the various tribes of the grassland, I am afraid that there will not be more than one percent of the grassland children who really have pure blood.
In fact, it was precisely because of the replenishment of these slaves that the steppe tribe maintained an increase in population.
In Murong Tongwei's opinion, if one day the grassland tribe no longer chooses to fight the grass valley, then he believes that the grassland tribe will completely disappear within a hundred years.
Therefore, on the issue of race, Murong Tongwei has always believed that the grassland tribe should be more open and tolerant.
After all, even he himself is not a pure Tugu clan, and there are many records of merging with slaves among their Tugu Murong royal family.
"Lord Shaman, this situation is really helpless, after all, the people of the Dayu Dynasty are indeed not comparable to us in terms of using tricks."
Murong Tongwei said as he cautiously observed Mu Hua Li Falcon's complexion.
"Hmph, now all the tribes are used to this situation, but you must know that the number of our grassland tribes still accounts for the majority, so the rights have always been firmly in our hands, but then if we successfully enter the Dayu Dynasty, the number of our grassland tribes is simply negligible in front of the hundreds of millions of people of Dayu, will the rights of our grassland tribes continue to be maintained at that time?"
These days, Mu Hua Li Falcon has been thinking about the next step for the grassland tribe to enter the Central Plains.
After he imagined that the grassland tribe had successfully entered the Central Plains, he suddenly realized this serious problem.
"Lord Shaman, there are only two things in this world that can silence these literati of the Dayu Dynasty, one is a steel knife, and the other is silver."
Unlike Muhua Li Falcon's worries, Murong Tongwei didn't have much worry about this.
After all, he had lived with the slaves of the Dayu Dynasty since he was a child.
His father, Murong Qinyou, was also a very wise man, so he arranged several literati of the Dayu Dynasty as teachers for Murong Tongwei.
Therefore, Murong Tongwei learned from these people since he was a child, the art of scheming and the art of manipulating people, which are extremely lacking in the grassland tribe.
Through these things he learned, Murong Tongwei also discovered the shortcomings of these literati of the Dayu Dynasty.
According to his understanding, all the Dayu literati who survived in the grassland tribe had no backbone, and as long as they felt enough fear, they would obediently give in.
However, if some benefits can be given to them appropriately, then they will be more loyal than dogs.
Of course, when they were fighting in the grass valley, they would meet many literati who regarded death as if they were at home and refused to cooperate.
These literati cling to something called wind bones.
However, when encountering such stubborn literati, Murong Qinyou would choose to kill them directly when he was alive.
In this way, not only can the will of those slaves be reduced, but also the literati who have no character can be more obedient.
"Steel knives and silver?"
Mu Hua Li Falcon couldn't help frowning when he heard these two words.
"Yes, in fact, taming these Dayu literati is the same as domesticating wild horses, if they are not obedient, they will whip them fiercely until they are completely subdued, if they do not surrender, then they will be killed, and those who surrender should also give them two whips from time to time to warn them, of course, the obedient ones must also give some benefits."
When Murong Tongwei spoke, his face was simple, like a simple-minded child.
But his words were as cold as the white-haired wind from the far north.
"Good! I didn't expect you to have such insight! ”
Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at Murong Tongwei at this time, and his eyes were flashing.
Although he had seen that this Murong Tongwei was not simple before, he just thought that this Murong Tongwei was a young man who was good at hiding his scheming.
But judging from what he had just said, this young man was definitely a strategic, ruthless man.
Such a person is more suitable to be the leader of a clan than the khans and kings of other tribes.
"Lord Shaman, I just learned this from my father!"
Although Murong Tongwei wanted to behave better in front of Muhua Li Falcon, he could give this shaman more opportunities in the next raids and the great cause of entering the Dayu Dynasty in the future.
However, he also understood a truth, that is, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, so he immediately said that the things he just said were taught to him by his father.
"You don't have to be humble, you can say such things to show that you are not so simple."
Mu Hua Li Falcon had already stood up at this time and patted Murong Tongwei's shoulder and comforted him.
"Actually, I can also see that you have been hiding yourself in front of outsiders in order to protect yourself, but in front of me, you don't need it at all, after all, our shamans in the wolf court are not allowed to touch the royal power, and even if we succeed in becoming the ruler of the Great Yu Emperor in the future, the Khan of Chaotian will only be selected from the khans and kings of various tribes."
Although Muhua Li Falcon tried hard to make himself appear more easy-going, Murong Tongwei secretly sneered in his heart.
Although Mu Hua Li Falcon said it well, the wolf court will not touch the royal power, but this is all based on the fact that the royal power must be subordinated to the divine power.
In other words, the so-called royal power is completely subject to divine power.
Just like the steppe tribes now, the khan or king of any tribe must obtain the support of the wolf court if he wants to ascend to the throne.
If Wolf Juting does not support him, then he can only end up dying.
Just like Wan Qi Haiyin's younger brother Wan Qi Yuankuo, although he was indeed the best khan candidate of the Xianbei clan, he was still hacked to death on the spot by his younger brother Wan Qi Yuele.
Although some of the Xianbei people stood up against it, they were quickly killed.
And all this could have gone so smoothly without the support of the shaman in front of him.
Therefore, Murong Tongwei pretended to be grateful to Dade on the surface, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.
If the grassland tribe can really enter the Dayu Dynasty in the future, he must completely wipe out the power of the Wolf Court.
He learned from the Dayu slaves he captured that the Zongzheng Temple of the Dayu Dynasty was the same as the wolf court of the grassland tribe that always constrained the decision-making of the Dayu Emperor.
And the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty also wanted to exterminate Zongzheng Temple all the time.
And he had now guessed that the reason why his steppe army was able to plunder so smoothly in the south must be that the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty had reached some kind of agreement with the shaman in front of him.
And the content of their agreement is that the grassland army will completely annihilate Zongzheng Temple.
