Frontal fighting is desperate, and dealing with the aftermath is exhausting.

Huo Lianshan knew Xiong Kaishan's problem.

Xiong Kaishan's problem is to cut first and then play.

As the saying goes: three years old looks old.

At the beginning of Nanyang City, he smashed the city gate, and later developed to smash the city wall.

In the process of generating these ideas, he did not think to ask for the opinions of others.

Although it is a very naïve behavior, it is the basis for the formation and development of Xiong Kaishan's personal way of thinking.

The meaning of cutting first and then playing is to fight first, and then find a way to deal with the aftermath when you encounter problems.

Huo Lianshan has reason to believe that as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will definitely not let it go.

Because of this, Xiong Kaishan left on the front foot, and Huo Lianshan had already begun to reorganize the main force and followed.

Huo Lianshan's main force came just right.

In a fit of rage, Duan Peng smashed more than 30 people to death with an iron rod, which was enough to cause public outrage, and then developed into a common hatred of the enemy.

At the beginning, Xiong Kaishan underestimated the power of the Mongolian class structure, so he frowned.

The so-called Mongol class, in fact, from top to bottom, were all slave owners of different ranks.

In the eyes of outsiders, the tribes and ethnic groups on the grassland, large and small, are actually the wealth of a certain person.

In addition to the herd, the herd, the herd, the crowd is also the wealth of a certain person.

Since it is one's own wealth, of course he has absolute dominance.

Genghis Khan Temujin had issued a very strict legal code in order to maintain this hierarchical structure.

This code is so all-encompassing that it is simply incredible, and it can be said that everything is included.

"If you find someone choking on eating, pull them out immediately and kill them. ”

This is one of the statutes of the Code, from which you can appreciate its strictness.

The code clearly stipulates that the riding slave and the arrow slave must absolutely obey the master, otherwise the whole family will sit together.

Xiong Kaishan didn't know that there was a legal code in Mongolia, and he didn't know that the army he was facing from now on belonged to the real disciple soldiers.

The slave owner's protectors were all born from the slaves, and the slaves' families were in the community.

Duan Peng killed more than 30 people as soon as he made a move, and he was stoned to death with an iron rod in front of their families.

Of course, this question is strict.

Even if they are slaves, they have a certain amount of blood and kinship.

His son, brother, and friend were beaten to death in front of him, and it would be false to say that he was not angry.

However, before the group could become completely angry, Huo Lianshan's main force arrived.

The Huolian mountain man is a big ghost and thoughtful, and as soon as he came over, he asked all the Mongolian ten-member groups to shout a word everywhere.

"All those who die on the battlefield will be compensated according to the standard of 16!"

This sentence was very powerful, and it calmed down the commotion crowd at once.

This sentence has such power, and it is thanks to the Code of Genghis Khan Temujin.

Because according to the provisions of the Temujin Code: if the riding slave or the arrow slave is killed by the master, or if the master is killed in battle, the compensation shall be according to the standard of one or two.

According to the provisions of the code: it is not guilty of a master who kills a slave by mistake.

After all, you killed someone, and the problem on the grassland is that the population is sparse, so the owner must compensate according to the standard of one or two.

The so-called one-two criterion means that if the master kills a slave without a valid reason, he must compensate his family for one large animal and two small animals.

Large animals refer to cattle and horses, and small animals refer to sheep.

One or two standards are equal to one cow plus two sheep, or one horse plus two sheep.

It's a slave value.

This is not of great value to the slave who was killed, or to the slave himself who died fighting for his master.

But for his family, the value is not low.

For there is another rule in the Temujin Code: A head is equal to one life, and a captive is equal to two lives.

This means: if you can chop off the head of an enemy in battle and bring it back, you can get an extra life. If you are able to capture a captive back, you can get two more lives.

The life of a slave is equal to one cow plus two sheep, or one horse plus two sheep.

So after a great battle, those who brought back the enemy's head, or captured the captive, could find their master to exchange the same value of livestock.

The wealth of the steppe herdsmen is not about how much silver you have, but how much you have your own livestock.

After all, silver does not wait for food, and animals can continue to multiply, thus providing more food.

The Temujin Code also provided that if a family had more than 100 animals, it was automatically released from slavery.

Temujin was able to become a benchmark for Mongolia because his words definitely counted.

Why did the Mongol soldiers fight so fiercely? It was because of the power of the Temujin Code.

As long as it is something that belongs to a person according to the code, the king of heaven cannot touch it.

You can't even move even slave things.

The Mongol soldier was originally a slave, but as long as he continued to make meritorious deeds, and then exchanged human heads or captives for livestock, he could soon break free from slavery and begin to climb the heights of nobility.

In the Mongolian steppe, the status of slaves with Mongolian origin was not very low.

Because they are only captives who have been captured in the internal scuffle, as long as they do their war exploits in turn, they can soon be freed from slavery. Not only can you regain your freedom, but you can even become a nobleman.

With such a code as a guarantee, when killing people can become nobles, it is impossible for an army not to go crazy, so the Mongol army of that year can be invincible.

The Mongols supported Temujin because most of the large number of cattle captured in each war were returned by slaves, and there was not much left for him.

Before the troops set off, the military advisor Wan Lian specifically talked about this issue.

Therefore, Huo Lianshan saw that the situation was about to get out of control, so he had an idea and asked the people below to shout the slogan of "16 standard compensation".

16 standard compensation, that is, for those who died in battle today, each person can get compensation for one large animal and six small animals.

This amounted to three times the amount of compensation paid by the Temujin Code, and was in line with the practice of the Mongol ministries, so the rioting crowd quickly calmed down.

Although more than 3,000 people have calmed down, it does not mean that the problem has been solved, because they are waiting to see if such a high compensation can be honored.

Huo Lianshan, of course, understood that the current situation was very delicate, and before dealing with other things, he had to settle down all the slaves first.

If there is a riot among the slaves, it will definitely not work to kill them all, and it will be a violation of the military order of "those who hurt the people are killed".

"We're not here to kill people, and we're not here to rob you of your things. Huo Lianshan stood on horseback and said: "The head man led you on a great migration, and you will have to cross the Gobi Desert in front, and no one knows how many people will survive now." ”

"So we're here to stop this great migration. Because here is your home, and here is your pasture. If you don't want to leave your own pasture, how many people can escape the fate of being killed if you go and rob someone else's pasture now?"

"Now, please take out all your animals. And if anyone dares to touch your animals, he will be killed. Ask the families of these warriors who died in the war to come out and claim them, and then start making reparations. Now everyone is free to move, and here begins!"

Huo Lianshan saw that those slaves had begun to clean up their livestock, so he jumped off the horse and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Open the mountain, we will go our separate ways." You deal with the prisoners of war, and I'll take people to clean up the cattle and prepare for compensation. Damn, Duan Peng, this kid is really not worry-free!"

After such a mess, the sky gradually brightened, and the qiē in front of him was finally in broad daylight, and it seemed much more understood.

Huo Lianshan arranged for a cavalry team to clear the cattle belonging to Gahamonoyan, and the other people were all scattered around to keep guard, so that they had a chance to look at the five people who had been captured from the red-topped tent.

At the front is a middle-aged man wearing a bowler felt hat and an khaki robe, which is the dress of a local official, which should be Gahamonnoyan.

Behind him was an old man wearing a germanium red gable hat and a germanium red robe.

Huo Lianshan did not ask the first person, but to the second person: "You are the shaman?"

Sure enough, the guy in the mountain hat bowed down and said, "Dear lord, I am." ”

"Since you're a shaman, you should be able to heal your wounds, so what are you still doing here? Hurry over and heal those warriors, hurry up!"

The reason why Huo Lianshan was in a hurry was because Xiong Kaishan had already cleared up the prisoners of war, and because the battle outside was carried out in the dark, both the enemy and us had scruples, so they did not release arrows.

The results of the final count were: more than 200 people were wounded, and none were killed. Among them, because they were sneak attackers, only more than 20 people were injured.

In the entire raid battle, Duan Peng killed thirty-seven people here, and he also needed to be compensated.

"That's not going to work. Huo Lianshan shook his head: "For those wounded prisoners of war, each of them will compensate for two animals." Anyway, these animals should belong to the common people, and it is useless to keep them. ”

Wait until the third pole of the sun, and all the cattle scattered in the periphery have been counted.

More than 2,700 sheep, 39 cows, and 314 horses of different ages belonged to the owner of Gahamonoyan.

On the contrary, the flock of sheep belonging to the more than 500 households totaled more than 1,100 sheep, more than 100 cows, and more than 700 horses.

When Huo Lianshan heard the report, he was taken aback: this ethnic group is not simple, and the common people have more things than the head people.

According to the normal situation, such an ethnic group should not migrate, and this matter must be asked clearly.

Huo Lianshan didn't look at the three women in the back, and they were three women who were one big and two small.

He came directly to Gahamunoyan: "Gahamun, the grassland here is very good, and your situation is not bad, why are you leaving?"

Gahamonoyan smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, it is precisely because the grassland here is very good and we have a lot of livestock that we have to leave. Lingdan Batur Khan (Lin Dan Khan) has long wanted to annex the Sunit Ministry, and we don't believe it yet. ”

"But at the beginning of the year, he had already taken action against the Bahrain Ministry, and we didn't want to take refuge in Nurhachi's Jurchens, let alone give our wealth to Lingdan Batur Khan (Lin Dan Khan) in vain. ”

Huo Lianshan shook his head: "If you all leave, won't the steppe here be deserted? Also, if you all leave, the entire front of western Mongolia will be empty, which is equivalent to opening the gate for wolves to enter." ”

"If the Nurhachi Jurchens from the east come to you, won't it be a long drive?and where will you be able to flee then?Will all you Mongol warriors wait to be exterminated by Nurhachi?"
