Chapter 7 The Desert Walk
After Yang Kang got the news, he began to wonder, should he go to Mongolia once?
At this time, Mongolia was still in a situation of fragmentation, the northern and southern grasslands of the desert were independent and did not belong to each other, and the powerful Jin ruler was the entire northern grassland.
In order to prevent the growth of the Mongols, the Jin State adopted the means of "divide and rule" and "reduce the Ding".
Divide and conquer is to break up the powerful tribes in Mobei, and provoke contradictions between the tribes, so that they can kill each other.
In order to maintain the total population of Mobei, the Jin State directly sent troops to slaughter and plunder to prevent a certain tribe from growing.
This policy was implemented during the strong period of the Jin state, so that the entire Mobei was scattered and attacked each other, and later because of the internal and external troubles of the Jin, he was unable to enter the Mobei expedition, so that Temujin seized the opportunity to unify Mongolia.
At this juncture, Temujin was about to rise.
Yang Kang has always kept a low profile, he didn't run to Jian yì Wanyan Honglie to get rid of Temujin, which is too weird for a five-year-old child, and it is not something that can be fooled with words like immortal dreams.
At present, the attitude of the Jin State is mainly appeasement, which is the general tone of the government and the opposition, and no one wants to fight a war with the Mongols.
One of the reasons why Yang Kang went to Mongolia was to see the future Genghis Khan, who would be the most important enemy in his life in his life plan, and the other reason was naturally Guo Jing.
He has a very complicated attitude towards Guo Jing.
As a traverser, he admired Guo Jing's spirit of serving the country and the people, and resolutely left Mongolia in order to defend the Southern Song Dynasty, and even led to the death of his mother.
Yang Kang and Guo Jing are very similar, as Han Chinese, they both live in a foreign country and were raised by foreign people, but later they chose different paths.
He wanted to go to Mongolia to see Guo Jing and see his life in Mongolia, but as for what to do, he hadn't thought about it yet.
For this person who has a special relationship with him, the traverser Yang Kang has a different kind of worry, Guo Jing's super luck is likely to cause him great trouble in the future.
The protagonist aura is not just talk, it is protected by the entire plane, and there can only be one protagonist in a story, and it is difficult for a two-protagonist story to attract readers.
The next thing is how to convince Yan Honglie, this is an operation with a military purpose, and it is a bit too childish to take a child.
King Rong Wanyan Hongxi likes Yang Kang very much, there should be no problem, but Wanyan Honglie ......
It is definitely not possible to find Bao Xiweak to intercede, if Bao Xiweak knows that Yang Kang is going to the desert, she will be the first to object, the so-called child Xing Qianli mother is worried, not to mention that this time it is likely to be dangerous.
That can only find Yelu Chucai, as a teacher, he has a certain amount of power.
"Father, the master said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, and the child read the beautiful scenery described in the book as 'the desert is lonely and the sun sets on the long river', so he wanted to go there to have a look. Yang Kang said boldly during an operation inspection, "This time, my father and Uncle Sanwang went to the desert, and the child also wanted to follow him to see for a long time." ”
Wanyan Honglie regularly checks Yang Kang's academic progress, he himself is proficient in Sinology, and the subject homework of a five-year-old child is not difficult for him at all, and he is very satisfied with Yang Kang's strategy, although his views are a little naïve, but he considers the problem from the perspective of a ruler.
This is the attitude that the children of the royal family should have.
If a child of the royal family is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, stresses the people's livelihood, seeks welfare for the people, etc., it is stupid to read, or that is what courtiers should do.
Hearing Yang Kang's request, Wanyan Honglie turned to look at Yelu Chucai, wanting to ask for his opinion, or to see if this was Yang Kang's true thoughts, or Yelu Chucai's behind.
Yelu Chucai had already completed Yan Honglie's test at this time, and officially became a member of the staff group, and in the face of Yan Honglie, he said his thoughts.
"It's good to let the little prince go and see it, these things always have to be experienced. Yelu Chucai said calmly.
As an aspiring young man, seeing the situation in Mobei with his own eyes is of great benefit to putting forward policy proposals in the future, and there is no way to feel that atmosphere just by looking at intelligence.
Only by truly looking at the living conditions and mental outlook of those people can we know what they really think.
When Yang Kang discussed with him, Yelu Chucai felt that this was an opportunity, so he agreed to speak for him, and they got along well with their master and apprentice in the past two years.
"So Mr. will go with him!" Wan Yan Honglie decided.
Wanyan Honglie thought that this was Yelu Chucai's idea, and said it through Yang Kang's mouth, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but Yelu Chucai was indeed talented, and he still had this amount of tolerance.
Yelu Chucai understood that this was carrying the black cauldron for the little prince, but it didn't hurt to carry this innocuous black cauldron on his back, it could enhance the relationship between master and apprentice, and the most important thing was that he did want to take a look at Mobei.
This matter was settled in this way, and afterwards Bao regretted weakly obstructing her, and Yang Kang promised that she was just going to play, and there was no danger to calm her down.
When the army was marching out, Yang Kang and Yelu Chucai came to the barracks in a carriage.
There are 20,000 troops sent this time, and the two princes each lead 10,000 troops, and they can act cheaply in Mobei.
Yang Kang saw so many soldiers and horses for the first time, which was completely different from the scene in the TV series, these elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were all in brocade robes and iron armor, the left team held spears, the right team held maces, and stepped off the tall horses, and the sonorous sound on the iron armor could be heard from a long distance.
This is the army of the era of cold weapons.
He was placed in the carriage of King Rong, who was different from King Rongyan, who loved to enjoy, had a rough personality, had a short temper, was very kind to his own people, but extremely cruel to his enemies.
Wanyan Honglie did not use a carriage, but walked with the soldiers, which was despised by Wanyan Hongxi.
As a prince who has no extravagant hopes for the throne, Wanyan Hongxi does not pay attention to his words and deeds, and always speaks disrespectfully, and is very famous in the upper class society of the Jin Kingdom.
He is just the opposite of Wanyan Honglie's personality, Wanyan Honglie's personality is forbearant and ambitious, no one expected that among the six brothers, their relationship is the best.
This kind of goodwill continued to Yang Kang's body, Wanyan Hongxi took care of this nephew meticulously, and even gave Yang Kang his beloved tiger skin blanket, and kept chatting with him to relieve boredom, of course, mainly bragging about how heroic he was when he fought, how many enemies he killed, and so on.
Because of Bao Xi's weakness, Wanyan Hongxi rarely has the opportunity to be alone with Yang Kang, and this time he seized the opportunity to brand his magnificent image in the mind of his little nephew.
At this time, Yang Kang was not interested in chatting, he sat in the carriage and touched the dagger in his arms.
This dagger was used by Bao Xiweak for his self-defense before departure, this is the first time Yang Kang has seen this dagger, and the word "Guo Jing" is engraved on it, this is the dagger that Qiu Chuji gave to Guo and Yang respectively, and another dagger engraved with the name of "Yang Kang" is on another child.
He looked at the flags blazing in the air, thinking about the people he was about to meet in the desert, and he was a little uneasy.
Mongolia, I'm coming.
Guo Jing, are you ready?
