The first thousand six hundred and seventy-eight chapters
.”
In ancient times, not to mention personal soldiers, even servants had stronger combat effectiveness than soldiers, so the Qixue Army was not that simple. What's more, the Qixue Army was a strategic mobile army directly controlled by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the guard army.
The Qixue Army was built on a strict aristocratic basis. When Genghis Khan founded the Qixue Army, it was composed of four great heroes, Borhu, Borshu, Muhuali, and Chi, who were known as the "Shelibanqulu" (meaning the Four Heroes).
Lao Wen served as the world leader, Qie Xue.
In peacetime, they were stationed around Genghis Khan's Great Or'er (tent hall), divided into four squads, and took turns to stay in the guard every three days. In wartime, they accompanied Genghis Khan on expeditions.
Qiuxue's army is composed of three teams: dormitory guards, bodyguards, and environmental guards. Each has a captain, who is always under the command of Commander Qionxue. He is more trusted than the privy guards and other troops.
In his later years, Genghis Khan grew to more than 120,000 people and had great power.
The cowardly Xue Army in the late Yuan Dynasty, just like the Eight Banners Army in the late Qing Dynasty, gradually became corrupt and eventually withdrew from the stage of history.
However, in the era of Genghis Khan, the Qixue Army was at its most prosperous. In that era, regardless of the Liao, Jin, or the tribes on the Mongolian Plateau, their leaders all had Suwei soldiers.
These guards have different responsibilities. For example, the one I saw just now is the Eight-thorn Hachi - the gatekeeper. These Eight-thorn Hachi block the door to Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
Every time Han Peacock and the others took a step forward, they had to clear out one Eight-thorn Hachi. After clearing hundreds of Eight-thorn Hachi, Han Kongque discovered Huo'erchi, a bow and arrow wielder, also known as a sanitation guard.
There are more Huo'erchis. They all wear bows and arrows and guard Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
While carrying these Golden Tent Qinxue, the Golden Demon sighed: "Genghis Khan is really rich. These guards are all gold helmets and armors just because they are called Golden Tent Qinxue. I really don't know how much gold they grabbed at that time to make them like this."
Lots of gold armor.”
At this time, Han Peacock was also lamenting that the gold armor on each Golden Horde warrior was no less than three hundred kilograms, and now they had dealt with thousands of Golden Horde warriors.
And next, you will definitely encounter more, such as Yunduchi, who are Genghis Khan's servants with swords and bows. They are also environmental guards, but they are closer to Genghis Khan, so they carry swords, which can also be said to be in front of the emperor.
Guards with swords.
Those who can carry swords and arrows in front of the emperor must be the emperor's confidants, so their rank may not be high, but they are definitely a group of people that the emperor can trust most.
Next, Han Kongque's speculation was confirmed, and the entire Qixue Army slowly revealed its full profile.
"This can't be the entire Qixue Army that has been established, right? If so, there are 120,000." As more and more Qixue Army soldiers were encountered, Huangshan gradually began to have this suspicion.
The golden tents here seemed to be endless, and at the end, Huangshan and the golden demons were both numb, so when they met such golden armored guards here, they were all taken into the chaotic space by Han Peacock.
"There should be ten or twenty thousand, but 120,000 is unlikely." Han Peacock stopped his movements and arrived here, as if he had entered the inner city of the mausoleum.
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is not a lot. It's really a generous sum. If it was really a living sacrifice, Genghis Khan would have been so willing to be buried with so many guards back then," Mu Ling said.
Han Kongque sighed and said: "Maybe it's because they committed a major crime, such as not protecting Genghis Khan, so they were brought here to be buried as a last resort."
Such a thing is very likely to happen. As Genghis Khan's personal soldiers, he actually let his boss have his dick bitten off, and died so aggrievedly. Even if they simply block the news with force, it is very likely that these soldiers of Genghis Khan will
He was sent here to be buried with him.
"Why does this place look like a city?" At this time, Huangshan asked.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "You just discovered it now? In fact, when you see the city gatekeeper, shouldn't you think of it?"
Soon, they saw Xi Baochi on top of a small city wall - the hawk-bearing falconer. He was a spy and also a defender.
Then there is Wu Cicchi - the chariot and horseman, the golden tent Qingxue who helps Genghis Khan travel.
Next there are Temmaich - the camel herder, and Huonichi - the shepherd.
After crossing this small city wall, the guard you encountered again was Hu Ci Hanchi - the robber.
At this time, the inner city in this mausoleum has already shown the seriousness of Han Peacock and others.
The inner city is rectangular in shape from north to south, 183 meters long from north to south, and 134 meters wide from east to west. The base of the sacred wall is 3 meters wide, built in sections and 5 meters high.
There is a doorway in the middle of the Nanshenmen Gate, which is 17 meters wide. There are three slope-style steps inside and outside the doorway, each about 3 meters wide, and are inlaid with bricks. There are a large number of bricks, tiles, and other building materials inside and outside the door.
There is also a doorway in the middle of the three sacred walls, but the inside of the doorway is made of adobe and is more than 4 meters high, making it seem impassable.
There is a sacrificial hall located to the west of the Nanshen Gate. The platform is rectangular from east to west, about 90 centimeters high. The ground is made of square patterned bricks, and the column foundations can be seen at the bottom. It looks very exquisite.
There is a mausoleum in the northwest of the inner city. It is made of rammed yellow sand and has an octagonal shape. The bottom side is 12 meters long and about 20 meters high. It is divided into 7 levels, which shrink gradually from bottom to top. The bottom of the original building is covered with bricks, among which
Several layers are coated with red mud.
There are grooves on each floor of the steep platform, which looks like a pagoda. The mausoleum is about 10 meters behind the tomb.
The entire inner city has inner squares, roads, courtyards, wells and houses. The layout of these buildings is very standardized and neat, and is surrounded by rammed earth walls.
The city is divided into three parts: front, middle and back. There is a large-scale palace in the middle of the middle and the back. Most other buildings are concentrated in the front and middle of the city, forming closed courtyards.
In this inner city, in addition to the golden armor worn by the golden tent warriors, even the materials used to build the inner city are rare treasures.
There are a large number of brightly colored green glazed tiles, tube tiles, tiles, dripping tiles, ridged beasts, owl kisses and other architectural decoration components, such as milky white or bluish white small white porcelain tiles with ice cracks, and black glaze cowherds on the sides.
Hewa, finely carved stone carvings.
Here, even the fired square bricks, rectangular bricks, strip bricks, tube tiles, tiles, drips, glazed decorations and other building materials are rare antiques.
In a rectangular building group, Han Peacock also found bowls, plates, bottles and other porcelain.
The antiques he has discovered now include, in addition to architectural components such as tiles and stone statues, copper bells, copper belt buckles, copper animal face decorations and copper thrifts.
Others include steel needles, iron nails with rings, steel bubble ornaments, copper armor pieces and porcelain pieces, etc.
Scattered pieces of copper armor, copper foam ornaments, copper bells, porcelain pieces, bamboo carvings, helmet-shaped iron shells and gold and silver ornaments were found in the accessory room.
Of course, the closer you get to the tomb passage, the better things you will find, such as the gilt copper bull currently held in Han Peacock's hand, and the iron dog picked up by the golden demon and other metal products.
Of course, there are stone horses and other stone carvings on both sides of the tomb passage, and not far away there are stone dogs and other stone carvings.
