Changlin Dangtu stroked the sword made of fine iron in his hand, and slowly said: "The Han Dynasty people established a 'household system for the people' over there in Longcheng. Zheben, Hushe and more than a dozen people
The kings and nobles of each clan were all killed by the Han Dynasty people..."
When the nobles in the tent heard this, they all looked at each other in disbelief.
Although there have been similar rumors these days.
But no one dared to believe it.
Even those who heard it thought the other party was joking, or simply thought that the other party was a spy sent by Shan Yuting of the Northern Huns to sow discord.
Therefore, everyone just laughed and almost no one took it seriously.
After all, it's been thousands of years.
Since the beginning of the bow-drawing people, this grassland has always been the overlord of Liushui and the iron-clad clan.
Donghu, Yueshi, and Xiongnu alternated one after another.
But, who has seen the victors tear apart and dismember other tribes and clans indiscriminately?
No!
there has never been!
Even in the era of Maodun Chanyu and Laoshang Chanyu, the Huns did not dare to do this.
Because whoever does this is making enemies of all those who draw bows!
All tribes, even the overlord’s own tribe, will also jump up.
But, now that this matter has come out from Changlin Dangtu's mouth, everyone has to consider the authenticity of this matter.
Of course, there are still many doubters.
A nobleman wearing a mink coat and a wolfskin hat stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, have you heard some rumors? Do the people of the Han Dynasty dare to adopt such a policy? They are not afraid of the entire grassland.
Are you going to be against them and become enemies?"
Even though the Han Dynasty defeated the main force of the Xiongnu on the frontal battlefield, they could only escape through the desert with their tail between their legs, huddled in Mobei, and relied on the natural dangers of the Gobi to protect themselves.
However, the power of the grassland tribe is still very powerful.
Just in this Makukita area, there are still about one million people.
He could pull out tens of thousands of cavalry and fight the Han Dynasty fiercely.
Even if you lose the battle, it doesn't matter.
If you can't fight, run away!
The Munan area is so vast, stretching thousands of miles from north to south and two to three thousand miles wide from east to west.
Even if you ride a war horse and run around without stopping, it will take you a month and a half to make one round trip.
Therefore, in the past, even when the Xiongnu Empire was in its heyday, there was nothing that could be done to the Xiaoyuezhi, Dingling and Qiang people.
There is even no way to deal with these tribes that can't be beaten and run away, and can't escape through the ravines.
Now, do the people of the Han Dynasty dare to risk the world and do such a thing?
Most people think this is impossible!
Because even the people of the Han Dynasty didn't know something that they themselves knew?
Therefore, countless eyes were focused on Changlin Dangtu.
Many people are wondering in their hearts, is this king confused? Want to find such a poor excuse and reason to drag everyone together to fight against the Han Dynasty?
Are the people of the Han Dynasty easy to deal with?
The Huns were vulnerable to the Han Dynasty and suffered heavy losses. Even their military officials died in the war!
With his small arms and legs, how could he be a match for the Han Dynasty army?
I'm afraid it will be easily crushed by the Han Dynasty people!
Changlin Dangtu looked at everyone's eyes, laughed, clapped his hands, and said: "King Hushe, please come and explain to the leaders..."
"Yes! Great King Changlin!" Outside the tent, a man in his thirties crawled into the tent, kowtowed to the leader Changlin Dangtu and said: "I, Hu Shemi, pay my respects.
The great King Changlin and the leaders of the Changlin clan..."
Everyone turned to look over, and several people immediately exclaimed: "King Hushe, how did you become like this?"
Hushe, also a small tribe in Munan, used to huddle together with the Changlin clan on a barren pasture to keep warm. More than ten years ago, the contemporary King Hushe, also known as Hushemi, climbed up to Shan Yuting.
Gao Zhi was recognized as a slave by a big shot.
So the chickens and dogs of the entire Hushe tribe ascended to heaven, and were moved by the big man to graze in the Dragon City area.
Once upon a time, the people of Hushe were extremely arrogant, and the king of Hushe even said that my master was xx, with his nostrils pointing to the sky, and he was arrogant.
But now, this King Hushe is in extremely embarrassed state.
The braids on the back of his head were all messed up, and his whole body was covered in blood.
"People from the Han Dynasty! They are from the Han Dynasty!" Hu Shemi looked at those acquaintances and finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
"What is going on? King She, please inform all the leaders in detail..."
"As ordered..." Wiping away his tears, King Hushe poured out the tragic things that happened to him and his clan in detail.
It has to be said that King Hushe's eloquence is not bad. At least, what he tells is coherent, fluent, and extremely contagious!
As he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire tent instantly solidified.
"People of the Han Dynasty!" Countless people clenched their fists tightly, empathizing with King Hushe's experience: "You are looking for death!"
Because, if what King Hushe said is true.
Then the people of the Han Dynasty were not just digging at the foundation of all the people who led the way!
It wants to dig out the foundation of all the nobles here and deeply hurt the interests of each of them!
It was obvious that the people of the Han Dynasty just didn’t want them alive!
At this moment, everyone understands what is meant by "organizing households to equalize the people"?
It is to dismantle and dismember all the tribes, and completely kick the nobles out of the daily management of the tribe/clan. This is equivalent to kicking all the nobles from their ruling position.
From then on, the power of all clans/tribes belonged to the Han Dynasty people.
And all nobles will have all the power!
this is too scary!
What's even more terrible is that the Han Dynasty people also used the so-called "Heavenly Chanyu" and "Kingly Enlightenment" to do this.
Every time they arrived at a tribe, they summoned everyone from the top to the bottom of the tribe and asked them to accuse and report their masters, leaders, and nobles for their past abuses and even tortures and killings.
Then, under the guise of "doing justice for heaven" and "making decisions for the people," the people of the Han Dynasty pulled out all the nobles and leaders and killed them.
Give their houses, livestock, and all other property to those despicable slaves and shameless herdsmen!
It seems that King She was also lucky. When the Han Dynasty attacked, he hid in the hay pile and pretended to be dead to save his life. Then he took advantage of the darkness and rode a horse all the way to the long forest.
Tribal warning.
After hearing what Hu Shemi said, Chang Lin stood up with his sword drawn and said to all his nobles and chiefs: "Everyone, please listen clearly! The people of the Han Dynasty are not just trying to dig out the treasures of the people like us who lead the bow.
Gen, don’t let us live yet!”
"At this point, if we want to survive, if we want to keep the sacrifices of our ancestors and the incense of the gods, we have no choice but to fight with them!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Countless people raised their arms and shouted.
Everyone understood that if what Hu Shemi said was true, then when the Han army arrived, everyone would have to wait to die.
In order not to let themselves die, everyone has to fight hard!
There is no way not to work hard!
But……
The power of the Changlin tribe may seem strong, but in fact it may not be enough to be controlled by the Han Dynasty army with one hand.
Not to mention, the Han Dynasty people also had the legendary invincible divine cavalry!
Just relying on the strength of the Changlin tribe, I'm afraid...
"Immediately send someone to contact the Rouran, Linhu, Zhanghu and other tribes..." Changlin Dangtu ordered: "Send envoys to Hexi and Mubei to inform every citizen of this matter!"
"The people of the Han Dynasty are coming to destroy us, the people who lead the bow!"
"They will dismember our clan, destroy our faith, and destroy our temples!"
"Under this cruel tyranny of the Han Dynasty, every citizen should unite!"
"Only unity can defeat the Han Dynasty!"
At this moment, Changlin Dangtu looked like a great man in the eyes of everyone.
Everyone was sincerely convinced and bowed to the ground: "I will obey your orders, my king!"
Changlin Dangtu's heart was burning with fighting spirit and vigorous ambition.
"The people of the Han Dynasty actually made such a stupid move..." He thought in his heart: "This is the blessing of the gods, and it is fitting that our Changlin clan will become the hegemon!"
He knew very well that as long as he could really command all the ministries and fight against the Han Dynasty people.
Then he will definitely become a hero in the eyes of every bowman.
Even if he is defeated, as long as he is alive or one of his descendants is still alive.
Then, no matter where you go, countless people will come to join you with slaves, livestock, war horses, and armies.
If he can gain an advantage on the battlefield, even if he is defeated, as long as the Han Dynasty people can be forced to give in due to his resistance, then his reputation will surely surpass that of the Twins.
By then, a new grassland empire will be established!
He, Changlin Dangtu of the Changlin clan, could step on the bones of the Han Dynasty and everyone else and ascend to the throne of Chanyu!
What's more important is that even if the worst happens, his resistance and that of everyone else will be mercilessly suppressed by the Han people and easily crushed.
He himself was captured and his army was wiped out.
but……
He'll still be fine.
The emperor and nobles of the Han Dynasty had to treat him with courtesy, even if it was just for the purpose of winning people's hearts and whitewashing peace.
He might even have to be granted the title of a marquis, or even a chanyu!
It is precisely because of this transaction that he, Changlin Dangtu, will not suffer any loss or suffer any loss.
Therefore, he has more confidence and confidence than anyone else.
If he wins, he is a Chanyu, if he draws he is a hero, even if he fails and is completely defeated, he can still have wealth and enjoy it.
Anyone who doesn’t do such a good deal would be a fool!
As for the others?
Whether they are dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
………………………………
Almost at the same time, in the main hall of Shan Yu's palace in Shunde City.
All the officers of Sima and above from the Zhongyong Army and the Loufan Army were sitting in front of each other, with their hands on the hilts of their swords, their heads raised and their chests raised, just like sculptures.
Opposite them, representatives of the influential merchants in Shunde City were whispering and discussing.
Everyone knows that there will be a war in the future.
However, as for the outcome of this battle, everyone knows that everything is already doomed.
"General Protecting the Huns, Jin Wu, Duke Zhi, the Marquis of Changwu has arrived!" At the entrance of the main hall, with the sound of gold and iron clanging uniformly, Zhidu came in with his personal soldiers and his left and right staff.
In an instant, all the officers stood up and saluted with their right hands hitting their chests: "I will salute General Zhi!"
Zhidu quickly returned the greeting: "I would like to say hello to all the public security officers!"
The merchant representatives on the right came forward to worship with smiles on their faces: "The common people are waiting to worship you..."
"Masters, please rise..." Zhi Du suppressed the nausea in his heart and forced out a smile.
This was the most uncomfortable moment for him, as he had to discuss military affairs with businessmen!
What a shame!
However, reality forced him to turn to these merchants for help.
Because these guys have sold a large number of bronze weapons and various equipment to various Xiongnu tribes in the past six months.
The people who know the most about the power and heritage of these tribes are these profit-seeking scum.
Besides...
If we take action this time, we will have to rely on these guys for funding and help for military expenses and food supplies.
There is no way, as soon as the army moves, it will be thousands of taels of gold.
Although the tribes in the southern part of the country were weak, they expected the enemy to be lenient, so Zhi had to use the same energy to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry.
In this case, the cavalry must be mobilized from the Juzhu Army and the Feihu Army. There must be at least a reliable force of more than 20,000 fine cavalry as arrows. In addition, more than 10,000 other arms must be mobilized, plus
The total number of miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers can be around 50,000.
For such a huge army, the daily consumption of food, drink, diarrhea and marching is an astronomical figure.
If we don't rely on these merchants to support us, why should we go to the people in Longyoudaibei to serve us?
Zhi wouldn’t do such a stupid thing!
Therefore, even for the sake of five baht, Zhi had to show some courtesy to these businessmen.
And many big businessmen naturally knew very well, why did Zhidu ask them to come?
Especially those guys who have been to Anton for business, they understand clearly.
The main military expenditures for Anton's protective army and the troops stationed in various places have never relied on court appropriations or taxes collected from the people.
Rather, it is through apportionment from vassal countries such as North Korea, South Korea, and Zhenban, as well as apportionment to merchants.
Of course, no one was unhappy about it.
Today's Han Empire has a very good reputation.
If you invest, there will be returns.
No one does this loss-making business, but as long as it is profitable, the merchants will definitely continue to do so, even if they lose their heads.
Take this time for example.
Everyone contributed money, food, and even people to help the court complete the Munan strategy.
So, can the emperor and the princes in the court still treat everyone badly?
The captured slaves, prisoners of war, etc. can definitely pay off the debt.
Those livestock, furs, and gold can be directly offset.
What's more, among these people, there are still a few people who are selling their livers and kidneys under orders to support Zhidu.
Even, they didn't plan to ask for anything in return.
Because money and other things are completely worthless to these people and the masters behind them.
They already have so much money that they don't know how to spend it.
Their only pursuit now is to become a prince.
For example, Zhuo family, Shi family, Cheng Zheng family.
So you don’t care how much you earn this time?
They only care about whether their efforts can be seen by the emperor?
