Chapter 252: Saibei Jiangnan
After bidding farewell to Yue Peng and the others, Ling Lingqi embarked on a trip to Mongolia alone. In fact, he was also very curious about the Mongol Empire, why those barbaric Mongols were able to fight all over Eurasia without an opponent?
In fact, Ling Lingqi, as a traverser, certainly knew some of the history of the Mongol Empire. Before the Mongol Empire, the traditional way of joint plunder by nomads was in relatively loose tribal unions. The chief has no power over the tribe. The tribal leader's subordinates are all his own sons. If a tribe loses too many of its own people in order to jointly plunder civilized areas in a war, it will suffer a great loss in the future cannibalism in the grasslands, and even face extinction. Therefore, it is not uncommon for tribal leaders to cherish the lives of their subordinates and not obey unified orders. This undoubtedly diminished the natural military superiority of the nomads. After Genghis Khan conquered the tribes, not only was the scale of the alliance unprecedented, but he immediately dismantled the other tribesmen, reassembled them in ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand units, distributed them to his cronies, and turned them into his personal army. And don't count your subordinates who can't complete the task. The generals no longer valued the lives of their subordinates, and the Mongol warriors had no choice but to kill the enemy bravely to survive. This turned those teams that were already skilled in combat but were afraid of death into a mad beast that cared only about killing people regardless of their own life and death, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the army and greatly strengthening the difficulty of defense in civilized areas.
Along the way, Ling Lingqi also saw that the people of other ethnic groups under the rule of the Mongol Empire were living very hard, and the Mongols could bully them at will.
When he arrived at the capital of the Mongol Empire, Ling Lingqi found that this was simply a Jiangnan in the north.
On the way into the city, Ling Lingqi saw a pond, the pond was 100 acres wide, the lotus leaves in the pond, and the lotus flowers bloomed just right. Suddenly, I saw a painting boat in the distance slowly driving and getting closer, but I heard the sweet voice of a woman in the painting boat singing: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." Between the lotus leaves, the east of the lotus leaves, the west of the lotus leaves, the south of the lotus leaves, and the north of the lotus leaves. ”
The singing is beautiful and soul-stirring. Ling Lingqi listened attentively, but saw the painting boat approaching and leaning on the shore in front of the pavilion. Someone jumped ashore and put a hitch on the bow of the boat. In the middle of the painting, a woman slowly walked out, wearing a lilac shirt, her hair was like a waterfall, her neck was decorated with beads, and she swept her eyebrows.
Ling Lingqi was stunned, and said in his heart: "After I saw the Ethereal Fairy and Yuya and other women, it is difficult for me to stand out from the beautiful women in the world. Unexpectedly, the woman in purple in the painting boat turned out to be a stunning beauty. And this is still in the Mongol Empire, but she is different from the pure beauty of the fairy, and in the peerless appearance, there is a kind of enchanting charm. ”
The woman in purple got on the board, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked to the shore, and at a glance, she suddenly saw a handsome man in the pavilion, looking at herself without blinking, and couldn't help but blush slightly. That kind of shyness is difficult to describe. He lowered his eyelids, walked forward again, and suddenly his feet were sideways, and he stepped into the air, and with a scream, he fell into the pond.
Several maids in the back screamed in unison, but it was too late to save them. Ling Lingqi was shocked when she saw it, and she didn't think about it, so she jumped up, reached out in the air to hug the slender waist of the purple-clothed woman, and her body floated gently to the shore. The woman in purple was in his arms, with a look of surprise on her face, staring at him. In the eyes, the tenderness is infinite.
The two of them were fluttering in clothes and floated ashore from the lotus pond. As soon as his foot touched the ground, Ling Lingqi hurriedly let go of his hand and took a step back.
The woman in purple glanced at him deeply and said, "Thank you, Mr. for coming to the rescue, the little woman Lin Wanrong is very grateful." ”
Ling Lingqi said: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." ”
Lin Wanrong smiled at him and said, "The little girl lives in the Mingyue Building in the north of the city, if Mr. is free, you might as well come and talk about it." With that, five or six servant women embraced each other and drifted away. Ling Lingqi didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at each other.
He stayed in the pavilion for a while, and then entered the Mongolian capital, where there are also all kinds of people, although it is not as prosperous as Lin'an, but it can also be called a big city in the north, the Mongolian Empire is actually imitating the management method of the Central Plains Dynasty, so many of them are similar to Lin'an. After passing through a bright street in the north of the city, I didn't care when I came, and then I realized that there were mostly fireworks restaurants here. At the beginning of the lanterns, the sky is close to dusk, and the green building is bustling and quite lively.
Walk to the front of the highest painting building, and hang a plaque upstairs, with the words "Mingyue Building" written on it. But I saw a group of people gathered in front of the door, and they were making noise. He didn't know it, and was about to walk quickly, when he suddenly glanced at it, but saw a woman in purple in the crowd, with a pale face, standing in the middle. He was stunned and recognized that this woman was Lin Wanrong who met by the lotus pond.
He was surprised, so he stopped to watch. saw a son-in-law surrounded by a few small guys, teasing Lin Wanrong with a hippie smile. The son's eyes smiled so much that there was only one line left, and he said angrily: "Little lady, if you refuse to accompany the son and me to drink flower wine, it will be too unauthentic." Do you think you are really a girl who is clear and jade? Phew, this is really a **** and a memorial arch. Uncle put down his words today, you have to drink this flower wine, and you have to drink it if you don't drink it. ”
Lin Wanrong's face turned red with anger, and she suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped the boy in the face, and said, "Shameless man, he is so rude!"
The boy covered his face and shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, what kind of world is this, **** dares to beat people?
Lin Wanrong ran out of a few strong men behind him, and shouted: "Bold, this is where the Jiaofang Division is, who dares to be presumptuous?" The boy sneered: "What's wrong with the Jiaofang Division, isn't it just a green building?
All of a sudden, in front of the Mingyue Building, it was quite lively. Many pedestrians came over and said: "It's unusual for **** to quarrel with prostitutes on the street." I heard that the little lady is the Oiran of the Teaching Division, not only beautiful, but also not small, and she actually slapped the son. ”
"Really, haha, this time it's an eye-opener. Who is that son?"
"I heard that he is the son of a general in the court, and his father is from the side of the ninth prince, and he is quite powerful. ”
The boy saw that there were more and more onlookers, and many people talked more about his beating, and he felt more and more faceless. In a fit of rage, he suddenly rushed forward and punched Lin Wanrong in the face. Everyone coaxed, and Lin Wanrong was so frightened that she lost her face. (To be continued.) )
