Heipao laughed: "According to the ancestor, the Guifang tribe turned to other places because the Central Plains became a vast ocean and was no longer attractive to them?"
The ancestor curled his lips and said: "At that time, there were not many Guifang tribes who came to the northern grasslands. In other words, the few tribes that came were just the tribes that came to explore the road first. A large number of reserve tribes were still in the land of the river.
On the prairie farther west, these tribes can develop in many directions. To the east, they can walk thousands of miles into the grasslands of Mobei or the Western Regions. The journey is the most distant, and there are no cities along the way.
The fortress does not have a large farming area, but by walking more than a thousand miles to the southwest and southeast, you can reach the land of Parthia in the west, which is the land of Parthia recorded in Han history books. There is also a long river there.
, and since our Huangdi period, there have been many ancient farming countries in these places with developed civilizations, and even earlier than our Central Plains, there were iron weapons and agricultural tools."
The face of the black robe changed: "This country of rest is actually so developed and has such a great civilization?"
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, Anxi is actually equivalent to our Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is just a dynasty in this ancient civilization. Before this, there have been several dynasties and empires, and these dynasties have also
Similar to our land of Kyushu, many provinces have been established. The so-called provinces are composed of many city-states.
A large administrative region, similar to the larger vassal states like our Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, their dynasties are also similar to the three dynasties of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, with the emperor co-ruling and various regions being enfeoffed. However, their kings can be sent out
A servant, chamberlain, or eunuch monitors each province, or even directly serves as the governor of the province."
The black robe frowned: "This sounds stronger than the nominal ruling power of Emperor Zhou, but it is not as good as the Qin Dynasty's system of prefectures and counties, which directly ruled by bureaucrats. Could it be that these dynasties in the resting place of the West are also like this?
Was it established by the Guifang tribe going south?"
The ancestor said solemnly: "Some were established locally, and some were established by the Guifang tribe from the grasslands in their north who went south and conquered the locals. According to their records, what is the Akkadian Empire?
The Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Elamite Empire, etc., most of them were large countries with strong military, hundreds of thousands of troops, cavalry, chariots, and heavy infantry, and their methods were cruel and bloody, especially the Assyrian Empire, which was almost
It was a Guifang tribe during the same period of Xia and Shang Dynasties
After going south, the military empire that had been established over thousands of years was so barbaric and cruel, and its sacrificial techniques were so horrifying that even ghosts and gods would be outraged by it. It seemed that after a victory, tens of thousands of captives were killed and their heads were hung.
The city wall cut off the enemy leader's skin
It was common practice to peel off living creatures and hang them on tree branches and city gates. As for the killing of tens of thousands of captives at one time, the corpses were piled from the valley to the top of the mountain, and their kings wrote in inscriptions to boast about it. In this empire, cruelty and bravery are
The same virtues."
Doupeng's expression changed and he said: "Hang the enemy's heads all over the city wall for decoration and deterrence. I remember Shi Hu also likes to do this kind of thing. Could it be that this Assyrian Empire is also like Shi Hu's?"
Like Jiehu, are they a Guifang tribe from the west?"
The black robe said thoughtfully: "It is possible. Jiehu is also a white race. He is very similar to the Guifang tribe mentioned by our ancestors, with white skin, blond hair and green eyes. Although Jiehu is affiliated with the Xiongnu
The Zahu are cruel and savage, but far worse than other Hu tribes. Maybe they are really ghosts.
The remnants of the tribe who stayed on the grassland also brought their savagery and ferocity with them. However, no matter how ferocious the stone tiger was, he only slaughtered prisoners of war and decorated the city walls with their heads, not skinned people alive.
To the extent that they came to wrap up the city gates, the cruelty of the Assyrian Empire is really unheard of."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Yes, they killed the enemy troops like this mostly to intimidate the enemy, not for sacrifice. Of course, sacrifice is also necessary, but it is not to kill so many slaves and captives. Return to
As for the topic I just talked about, when the Guifang tribe came to the eastern land, the journey was the farthest, and if they went south to cultivated land
The Central Plains of the region has become a vast ocean again. Who is willing to do this thankless task? Maybe after Guifang’s daughter, who is Mrs. Zhu Rong, reports the situation in the Central Plains, the Guifang tribe will temporarily
He gave up the idea of attacking the Central Plains and instead attacked the land of Parthia and Tianzhu, and established his own huge empire in these places."
Doupeng's brows raised: "The Assyrian Empire was built by the Guifang tribe? What happened to them later? Were they replaced by the Parthian Empire?"
The ancestor said calmly: "This Assyrian Empire is just like the Shang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that it used horrific bloody massacres and powerful military power to once conquer the rest of the land and established a dynasty almost as big as our Central Plains dynasty.
A super empire, but as our wise men said, without mercy and righteousness, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different. Internally, their bloody rule made many conquered people and foreigners feel dissatisfied, and uprisings emerged one after another. At the same time,
,he
Their internal struggle for power and the throne also led to continuous civil wars, which wasted a lot of military power and manpower. Finally, the Babylonian Empire, which was once wiped out, took the opportunity to rise, just like the old aristocrats of the six countries who destroyed Qin, or in other words, like the Western
Like Chu, the Assyrian Empire was finally destroyed. Those ghostly people who were the rulers of the Assyrian Empire, oh, they should have been called Assyrians by this time, were almost killed, or were forced to remain anonymous and disappeared."
The black robe sneered: "Is it possible that the Guifang tribe on the grassland is just watching their fellow tribesmen perish and not come to rescue them?"
The ancestor smiled slightly: "These Guifang tribes on the grasslands in the river have no subordinates. They are just tribes that survive by nomadic herding and going out to fight. They are all called Guifang. Just like the Zhuhu on the grasslands in our north and west, they are also called Guifang.
There are five kinds of barbarians successively. The establishment of the Assyrian Empire was completed by a ghost tribe named Assyria. After they took over the resting place, they also
Instead of bringing in other Guifang tribes, they treated these Guifang tribes as strong enemies to guard against. Just like the Jiehu Zhao Kingdom of Shihu, they also regarded the Tuoba Tribe Dai Kingdom and the Murong Clan Yan Kingdom on the grassland as their top priority.
The great enemy is not our own people. Therefore, before and after the demise of Assyria, the ghost tribes on the grassland went south to conquer the land of Tianzhu." (End of this chapter)
