The black robe's eyes flashed coldly: "Where did you learn how to build these armored cavalry? You never told me about this."
Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "When I was in Yongzhou these years, I spent a lot of money to recruit more than a dozen knights and their servant craftsmen from the Murong clan of Nanyan. I also fully understand their methods of making these armors.
, but some of the key fire-purifying methods require the use of drowning of three animals. Yongzhou does not have a large number of cattle and sheep, so it is not easy to gather these materials. In addition, if I take the initiative to build these armored cavalry,
The equipment will arouse the vigilance of the Lu family and his son, so I used the trade with Rouran to go to the grassland to conduct this secret transaction with them."
"In the west of Rouran Khanate, where Datan is guarding, there is a large mountain called Altai Mountain, also called Jinshan. It is more than a thousand miles north of Wusun Kingdom in the Western Region. In this mountain, there is a tribe that specializes in forging weapons for Rouran.
, called the Ashina tribe, also known as the Turks, because the shape of this golden mountain is a bit like the helmets worn by soldiers, also known as Doujue, so it was named after the mountain, and called the Ashina tribe, also called the Turks."
The black robe muttered: "Doujue, Tujue, I seem to have heard of this tribe. It is said that they used to be a Zahu tribe on the West Sea, near Pingliang, and provoked the ferocious Tiefu Xiongnu in Hexi.
All the men, women, and children in the tribe were slaughtered by him, leaving only the leader's son, a little boy who was only a few years old. The ferocious enemy did not kill the child, but cut off all his limbs and turned him into a tree.
Use the stick to humiliate him, and then leave."
"There was a female wolf who couldn't bear the tragic death of her child, so she took food in her mouth every day to feed the child. Later, the child had an affair with the female wolf and made the female wolf pregnant. A few years later
, the enemy tribe back then came back to visit their hometown, and unexpectedly found that the child was still alive, so they killed the little boy with a stick, and the she-wolf escaped with the child's offspring, all the way to Jinshan, where
Ten wolf children were born, and these ten children are the ancestors of the Ashina tribe."
Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "These are just myths and legends. You must know that the barbarians on the grassland like to put real things in the colors of these gods and ghosts. The so-called she-wolf may be a tribe with the wolf as its totem.
, as far as I know, this little prince was originally married to this wolf tribe. Later, the tribe was destroyed and suffered a catastrophe, but the princess of this wolf tribe still took over the crippled little prince and married him as promised.
, and became pregnant with his child. Later, the enemy tribe turned to attack the Wolf Totem tribe. The Wolf Totem tribe could not resist, so they could only let more than 500 soldiers and civilians escort the princess to escape, while he fled in another direction. Finally,
The fate of this wolf totem tribe is unknown, but the princess took more than 500 families of herdsmen and fled to Jinshan."
"In Jinshan, the princess gave birth to ten boys. Of course, these ten boys were not all the original little prince. Maybe some were born to the tribesmen, so among the ten Turks with surnames, Ashina,
There is also the distinction of Ashide, used to distinguish the difference between fathers, but in any case, they are half brothers. Moreover, after experiencing such a catastrophe, it can be regarded as a legend on the grassland. This Ashina tribe
They have unique skills in forging iron. After Jinshan was discovered and conquered by Rouran, they became Rouran's forging slave tribe, specializing in forging iron tools for Rouran. I am still in Jinshan for the method of purifying fire by drowning three animals.
It was only after I met this tribe that I really mastered it."
The black robe softly said "Oh": "But the Murong tribe and the Turkic Ashina tribe are thousands of miles apart, so how can they master the same technology?"
Luo Longsheng shook his head: "I don't know about that. Maybe, the original wolf totem or the tribe of the little boy who was exterminated also used to be a herder in the Hehuang area, and had some contact with Murong Tuyuhun, so he knows
I must have learned the Murong clan’s method of forging pure fire. I’m not too clear on the specific reasons. I only know that thousands of complete sets of full-equipped vests have indeed been produced in this golden mountain.”
The black robe said thoughtfully: "If this Turkic Ashina tribe masters the technology of making such sophisticated equipment, then it may be possible to replace Rouran and become the overlord of the grassland in the future. I think you can do it in the future
Deal with this Ashina tribe more privately, instead of going through Rouran for everything."
Luo Longsheng sighed: "The Rouran people are not fools, especially this Datan. They value the Ashina tribe very much. This tribe has only secretly made armored weapons for Datan and his brothers' tribes, while other servants
The tribe does not have this kind of treatment. This is the secret of the sharp armored soldiers of Datan, who can defeat the Great Khan Buluzhen. Now that Datan has become the Great Khan, he has even sealed the secret of the existence of the Ashina tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that I can trade some iron ore from the Western Regions here, and there are many Han families who have the skills to make armor and fine steel, he would not have allowed me to cooperate with the Ashina tribe in Jinshan."
Heipao said coldly: "If Da Tan's goal is to compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty, then he can't defeat it just by relying on the backward equipment of the Mobei tribe. Only those who have tens of thousands of armored cavalry like the Murong clan can do it."
Only heavily armed cavalry can have an advantage in frontal battles. However, these steppe wolves are extremely difficult to control. Just like Datan, it stands to reason that Shelun and Hulu were his benefactors and his masters back then, but when he became
After the Great Khan, he killed Shelun's son without thinking of welcoming Hulu back. This shows that this man is also ambitious. Cooperation with him should not be too in-depth, and each can get what he needs."
Luo Longsheng nodded: "Yes, I want war horses, he wants armor, everyone gets what he needs, and the Turks are actually not honest. In addition to providing Rouran with all the armor and cavalry, they also secretly hide some vests.
, the Rouran people are very discriminatory towards the Turkic tribe. They beat, curse and insult the tribe at every turn, rob the women of the tribe, and treat them as slaves. I think the Turks are quietly gathering strength now, and maybe many years later, they will rise up together.
It's possible that he will replace Rouran."
The black robe smiled slightly: "So, you are also secretly cooperating with the Turks now?"
Luo Longsheng sighed: "There is no grassland in Jinshan. Rouran does not provide war horses, cattle and sheep to the Turkic tribes. Their food, clothing, and clothing are completely dependent on Rouran. Therefore, for the time being, they have no way to resist Rouran. However, if there is a problem in the future,
If there is a chance, the Turks can not only serve as slaves, but also as a normal servant tribe, qualified to go out to fight, that is their opportunity." ()
